in altering what has happened to them. They are DEAD. This man is still alive. His family is suffering in his absence. We can't bring the loved ones back to the families who lost them on that terrible day over Lockerbie.

If we are going to always respond to acts of malice and selfishness and with malice and selfishness will never be free. We will be forever re-acting to others, and begin justifying doing terrible things to innocent people because we anticipate violence from others.

When will we ever learn?
